Find comfort in knowing the Surgeons are Specialist Plastic Surgeons
A highly qualified Specialist Plastic Surgeon is not at all the same as a cosmetic surgeon. Many people are surprised to learn that there is often a vast difference in skill and prerequisits between the two.
After completing a medical degree, graduate doctors must undertake a further eight to twelve years of specialist surgical training and sit a series of rigorous exams in order to be invited to become a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS). Only then do they gain recognition as fully qualified Specialist Plastic Surgeons.
In contrast, any doctor in Australia with a basic medical degree and a current registration can refer to themselves as a cosmetic surgeon.
Given that ‘cosmetic surgery’ is a useful description for some procedures, we understand that this terminology can be quite confusing. If you are considering cosmetic surgery, find confidence in knowing the Specialist Plastic Surgeons supported by Adelaide Plastic Surgery are recognised industry specialists. Their additional years of medical training have allowed each of the surgeons to master an array of techniques, across a range of procedures, giving them the necessary skills and expertise to perform plastic, cosmetic and reconstructive surgery in Australia.

Vectra 3D Imaging System
Our goal is to ensure you go into surgery confidently and fully aware of a mutually expected positive outcome. Of course we appreciate the fact that, like many patients, you may find it difficult to make the leap of imagination required to envisage the outcome of your procedure.
Thats why we’ve invested in extra reassurance via the world’s leading developer of specialised medical photographic systems. With the new-tech assistance of our Vectra 3D Imaging System, you’ll be guided through the decision-making process by using your own 3D body images as a template to explore and envisage possible outcomes of surgical procedures.
This service particularly helpful for patients considering breast augmentation or rhinoplasty. As a complimentary addition to your initial consultation, your surgeon can manipulate your 3D image and present you with realistic representation of the options offered by differing implants sizes or surgical techniques.
